Unit prices rebounded 2.39% to $6.60/kg, reversing the downward trend observed since January. The uptick follows April's muted performance, where value growth stalled at 0.05% despite higher volumes.

The market shows resilience, with May's figures marking the highest monthly value since February.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Paraguay's beef meat exports, accounting for 74.65% of value but only 77.23% of weight, revealing a slight Value-Volume Gap where higher-value cuts or premium demand slightly outpace bulk shipments. Brazil follows as a secondary bulk hub (12.38% value vs. 12.73% weight), suggesting cost-efficient processing or re-export flows. The tight alignment between weight and value shares across most markets indicates a commodity-driven trade structure, optimized for volume over premium pricing. Strategic focus remains on high-volume, low-margin partnerships, with Chile as the anchor for balanced value-weight efficiency.
